Studying the perylene diimide dimer in the Pink Box using two-dimensional electronic spectroscopy. Angew. Chem. Int. Ed. 2024, e202407242New collaborative work with Steve Meech and Giovanni Bressan at UEA.

The group had an amazing time at the Early Career Researcher Macrocyclic and Supramolecular Chemistry conference, with a talk from Denis and posters from the rest of the group. Tom was also grateful to receive a poster prize from the judges!

Tom travelled to China to represent the group at the International Symposium of Macrocyclic and Supramolecular Chemistry, with a poster on his recent work on chiral PDI rotaxanes

Chiral locking of a bis-perylene diimide macrocycle enables us to investigate chiral self-assembly and circularly polarised luminescence in single crystals: J. Am. Chem. Soc. 2024, 146, 5470Well done Sam and thanks to our collaborators!

Welcome to Mya (PhD student) and Becky and Claudia (MSci students)!

Welcome to Dr Denis Hartmann (top) and Dr Atul Sharma (bottom) who have joined the group from the University of Oxford and ESPCI Paris. More information on Denis and Atul here.

We are currently recruiting for: 1. A post-doctoral researcher in synthetic supramolecular chemistry (3 years)To work on an EPSRC-funded project on organic electronics. The full advert is here. 2. A PhD student (fully funded)To work on a project on the supramolecular chemistry of organic dye molecules. The full advert is here. Please get in touchContinue reading “Nov 22: Join the group!”

We welcome our new PhD students Jamie and Tom, our new MSci student Rob, and Emily who returns to the TAB lab as an MSci student after doing a summer project with us!
